John McCain passed Barack Obama in the daily Gallup tracking poll Tuesday, suggesting the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has received no bounce after naming Joe Biden as his running mate.

The three-day average poll, taken after the vice presidential announcement Saturday, shows McCain with 46 percent and Obama at 44 percent, within the margin of error. It’s the first time since Obama sealed the nomination in June that McCain has surpassed him in the polls numerically, if not statistically.

The race for the president has been virtually tied for the last month. But an historical analysis by Gallup shows that the presidential candidates usually see a boost after the running mate announcements and then again after the conventions.

The tie between Obama and McCain may be attributable to base support. The Gallup numbers show McCain receiving about 10 points more support from his Republican base than Obama is from his Democratic base.

Also, I need to do the math on how 150 billion can fund 5 million jobs over 10 years, and that's without even considering what's going to be left for the actual cost of all that infrastructure and construction materials. Anybody know what a nuclear reactor goes for on ebay these days???

^^^^So his cutting tax bit was bullshit? He's still going after my money?

Depends on how much you make. He's going to cut taxes to the lowest paid people, who already don't pay very much in taxes. If you own a buisiness, you're going to get hammered out of existance.

He's going to overturn the Bush tax cuts, which where awesome. Obama can't have it both ways. You can't tell companies to pay more in taxes, and then expect them to keep jobs in this country. You just can't stop them. I mean, you can in China, but not in a free country. But anyways, it's been shown all throughout history that when you tax less and spend less, the economy is always stronger because consumers love to buy shit. People complain about the economy now, but they're spending like crazy. The problem with Bush is that he got the first half right, but never stopped spending in DC. So if Obama wants to install more social programs and spend more, the capital has to come from somewhere, and it always comes from the citizens.

One other thing, tax bills pass in the senate, and Palin would be president of it. She actually did go out and cut taxes all across her state. If you really want tax cuts, she's the one who can get it done.
